Clint screams at the gala at Shelter, "I am the Man Of The Year!" Viki begs Clint to stop making a fool of himself, as he trashes the place. EMS arrives and straps Clint to a gurney. Natalie scolds Bo for having Clint taken away like that in front of everyone. Natalie ignores Viki's orders not to follow Clint to the psych ward and insists on supporting Clint, as does Matthew. She storms out and pushes Cutter away. Cutter demands to know why Diego allowed Clint into Shelter and hears Clint paid him $100,000. Viki hears about the payoff from Diego too. Carl says goodbye to Viki, who gives Jeffrey the go-ahead to cover what went down with Clint. Tea follows Dani and Arturo outside and demands to know why she lied about Arturo. She calls Arturo a predator and warns Dani she'll end up like Brianna. Dani storms off. Back inside, Viki brings up seeing Blair crying during Carl's speech and asks Blair what kind of trouble Todd is in. Blair denies Viki any information. Cutter approaches Nikki about revealing their connection to Natalie. She reminds him they have business to take care of. He agrees and says that 'this' can't come between it. Nikki kisses Cutter and insists that what he has with Natalie will never work.

Dani accompanies Arturo to his suite and apologizes for what happened with Tea. She admits to being confused. Arturo kisses Dani passionately, who kisses him back. Soon, their clothes come off, and Arturo carries Dani to the bed.

At the Man Of The Year Gala at Shelter, Nikki complains to Rama about her lack of tips. When Dorian arrives, Rama hides behind Nikki. Carl Peterson joins Dorian and comments on the self-portrait she donated. Jo and David appear with their cameraman. Dorian introduces Carl to her soon-to-be ex-husband then trashes Rama. Viki arrives outside, late, and apologizes to Diego for Clint punching him. When Viki enters the gala, she tells Jeffrey and Destiny how lovely they look. Bo and Nora watch and hope Matthew's okay with Jeffrey and Destiny being together. They can't deny how they hoped one day Matthew and Destiny would reunite. Viki joins Natalie, where they discuss Clint and pray he stays away from the gala. Viki then takes Carl away from Dorian to meet Bo. Blair privately confesses to Dorian that she has no idea where Jack is tonight. Arturo and Dani appear. Tea spots them and orders Dani over. Dani claims Arturo is Brianna's uncle, but Tea is clearly upset by her daughter's date and storms off. Michelle appears and argues with Dani over Matthew and the fact that they're wearing the same dress. Arturo takes Dani away, and Michelle cries on Matthew's shoulder about how mean Dani is to her. Matthew races over to Dani, orders her to stay away from Michelle then goes to Tea and reveals that Arturo isn't Brianna's uncle. He was her sugar daddy. Tea stomps over to Dani and Arturo and demands he get his hands off her daughter. As they argue, the gala is called to order. Viki takes the podium and begins with the auction of Dorian's self-portrait. Dorian's embarrassed when no one starts the bidding. Carl notices, bids $100,000, and wins. At the bar, Nikki gets catty with Natalie and reveals that Cutter has been having sex with her for months. When Cutter joins Natalie, she seethes about what Nikki said. Nikki spills a drink on Natalie.

As Carl takes the stage at the gala, Clint appears outside and tries to make amends with Diego. Back inside, everyone listens with emotion as Carl toasts to those who have given them their freedom in our nation. As Blair cries, Tea whispers, "He'll be back." As Bo takes the stage to accept the Man Of The Year award from Viki, Clint appears. He pushes Bo off the stage, takes the award and says, "From the bottom of my heart, screw all of you."

Outside Shelter, Tea appears with Dean, Cutter and Natalie arrive, and Bo and Nora enter. Natalie knows that Clint isn't happy and asks Bo if he’s heard from him. Inside, Tea asks Blair how she's holding up. Nora asks where Todd is. Blair lies as Tea and Dean head for the bar. David introduces Jo to everyone. Back outside, Dani tries to calm herself by telling Arturo her mom is inside. Jeffrey and Destiny arrive moments later as does Carl. Carl meets everyone as Michelle and Matthew approach. Dani and Michelle see they have the same dress on. All of them walk inside except Carl who stays to greet Dorian.

Arturo brings Dani to her apartment. For a girl in college, she lives in a very nice place. Dani admits that Todd pays for it and how money is no object for him. Arturo looks thoughtful. Over wine, Dani talks about how Todd tries to buy her forgiveness. Arturo butters Dani up with sweet-talk about how beautiful she is and how she deserves to be cherished. Dani leans in to kiss him, but Arturo pulls back. This isn't the way he wants it to happen. When Matthew and Michelle arrive, Arturo leaves. Dani and Michelle argue over Arturo, and Matthew butts in with his concerns as well. Dani storms out, as Jeffrey arrives home. When Michelle goes into Matthew's room, Jeffrey brings up his kiss with Destiny to Matthew. Michelle listens, as Matthew insists he's cool with their relationship.

Matthew and Michelle join Jeffrey at Shelter. When they see Dani with Arturo, Jeffrey wonders if she's working on some daddy issues. Michelle recognizes Arturo as Brianna's sugar daddy. Rama overhears them talking about Arturo and admits he's bought Dani some drinks. Dani joins them and defends Arturo. She denies they are on a date and storms off. Destiny arrives, and Jeffrey takes her to the dance floor. Michelle watches them and tells Matthew she's sick of Jeffrey implying she can't be trusted. Jeffrey and Destiny say hi to Dani and Arturo. When Arturo goes to get them drinks, Dani again defends spending time with him. Matthew and Michelle join them. After Michelle points out Dani's diamond earrings, she admits Arturo bought them. Matthew drags Dani away and asks, "Is he going to be your sugar daddy?" They argue about Arturo and Michelle. Dani storms off and tells Arturo she wants to leave. Matthew and Michelle leave too. Destiny gets called away on work, and Jeffrey goes with her. Nearby, Cutter and Rama talk about being alone. Clint arrives outside and is turned away by the doorman for being drunk. Clint punches him, and someone records it.

Arturo is greeted by Rama at Shelter. Dani sits down with him at his table. He asks her about the scarf and she says she almost didn’t wear it. Tea enters and Dani ducks behind a menu. She says her mom has been under pressure lately. He tells her he’ll pay the check and they can go. Dani heads out. Arturo jokes that his mother still monitors him too. They walk to another restaurant and he asks her to the Veteran’s Gala. She says she’ll go with him and he gives her new earrings.

Bo questions Arturo again in his office. Arturo denies doing anything illegal but admits he met Brianna at Shelter. She approached him. Bo thinks Arturo was a mark and that Brianna set him up. How did Brianna reel him in? Arturo fell in love with Brianna and is heartbroken to hear another man was involved with her. He wants to help Bo with her case any way he can.

Dani helps Arturo pack away Brianna's things in her suite at The Palace. She sees a beautiful scarf, and Arturo insists she keep it and compliments her. Dani refuses the gesture. He tries to pay for her help, but she refuses again. After he steps out, she remembers Arturo's words, "You're a beautiful girl, who deserves nice things." Housekeeping arrives, and Dani's stunned to see Michelle, who's supposed to be in Toronto. Michelle lied to Matthew, so he didn't find out she's a maid. Dani doesn't like how she lies to Matthew but agrees to stay quiet about her job.
